Episdoe 14: Patriarchy 2 - The Incredible Shrinking Room with guest, Iver Robinson
In her book “The Making of Biblical Womanhood” Beth Allison Barr said,
“from the ancient world through the modern world, history told a continuous story of patriarchy - of women suppressed, oppressed, devalued, and silenced.”
Much of this oppression has occurred in the church. Today we discuss the damage patriarchy does to women in church settings and Pete talks with Iver Robinson, a church leader who has experienced this.

Episode 9: “Forgive me”
Kindavangelical is the podcast where we talk about more beautiful ways to live the Christian life. Sometimes the more beautiful way is more difficult, in fact it usually is, right? In this episode Pete discusses what to do, instead of flippantly asking someone to forgive you, after you’ve done something hurtful. It’s hard, and it’s beautiful too.

Episode 4: Resonance - with guest Jeff Jones
On this episode Pete will start talking about the aspects of evangelicalism that, as of this recording, still resonate with him. For those asking for a ‘doctrinal statement”, you’ll Kinda-get one.
He’ll also talk with his long time friend Jeff Jones, the lead pastor of an evangelical church in Dallas, TX about the primary adjustment that needs to be made by those of us who still think there is good news, but wonder if the evangelical church has lost her chance to share it.

Episode 2: Some of the Rest of the Story...
Someone posted that they googled, “What happened to Pete Briscoe?” Ha, seriously! If you were to google that, you would find a video from March 31, 2019. This is the service where my wife Libby and I shared with our church of 28 1/2 years that we were leaving the ministry. We loved our church and it was incredibly difficult to go. On that video I shared what I felt I could at the time: in episode 2 of Kindavangelical, I want to share more of the story.
I’m telling you this because this journey is one of the reasons I no longer think of myself as an evangelical. Many of us find ourselves in this spiritual limbo because of life experiences that mark us and make us question what we have always believed. This is what happened to me.

Episode 1: The House - with guest Jared Byas [Premiere Episode]
In my first episode of Kindavangelical I’m going to paint a picture for you, not with acrylics, but with a handful of words. My picture is a metaphor and when you hear it you will instantly know if Kindavangelical is for you, or not.
Then I’m going to talk with Jared Byas. Jared served as a local pastor and adjunct professor for almost ten years before launching The Bible for Normal People Podcast with Dr. Peter Enns, an organization committed to bringing the best in biblical scholarship to everyday people.
